RELEASE SHOWSTOPPERS:
RELEASE NON-SHOWSTOPPERS BUT WOULD BE REAL NICE TO WRAP THESE UP:
* Solaris's Sun Freeware (sfw) package has a busted gcc/ld setup.
This gcc passes -L/opt/sfw/lib to /usr/ccs/bin/ld, but does not
pass -R. Therefore, when trying to run the code using a
library from /opt/sfw/lib (say, libdb), the run-time linker
will not look in /opt/sfw/lib and the program will die.
Status: Workaround is to add "-R/opt/sfw/lib" to LDFLAGS.
Should check latest sfw package set and see if Sun
may have fixed this.
* GDBM usage of errno is not-thread-safe. Fix.
* Expat 1.99.2 is getting stale, 1.99.8 for sanity's sake, and
push to Expat 2.x for apr-util 2.0
* http://www.ibm.com/software/globalization/icu/downloads.jsp
(under an X-style license) for an apr_xlate alternative to iconv
Other bugs that need fixing:
Other features that need writing:
* possibly move test/testdbm* to util/dbu
Justin says: Do we still want to do this? testdate is now in test.
Status: Greg +1 (volunteers)
Documentation that needs writing:
* API documentation
Status:
* doc the lifetimes of apr_dbm return values
Available Patches:
Open Issues:
* unify parsing of prepared statements in DBD
Status: committed, awaiting review
format of arguments (i.e. %s, %d etc.) needs to be agreed upon
* add binary argument functions to DBD
Status: committed, awaiting review
API needs to be agreed upon
